Welcome to Peceptions, a place where I attempt to look at things from G-d's perspective. No...I'm not under the illusion that I know the thoughts of G-d. However, we can get a good idea from both the Word of G-d and by living a close relationship with him. It is an open forum and no moderation. Only rule: No Foul Language. Thanks again and feel free to comment.

It's definitely been a busy Pesach season and I'm sorry for not posting very often.

However, with that said, we come to my favorite cup, the second cup, Kos Sheni, the Cup of Judgement. This represents G-ds second "I will" statement. I will judge the Egyptians. It is during this cup, we remember G-ds judgement on Egyptians, which is synonymous with the world and sin.

During this time, we recite the plagues, G-d used to smite the Egyptians for not following G-ds Word.

But before continuing, I would like to remind you of a few verses.

The first verse is John 5:39. This is where Y'shua is telling everyone that when you search the scriptures, you find eternal life and that is testifying of a future Messiah and that is Y'shua, the one and the same that is standing right in front of you.

"You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me, that you may have life."

Also,

"Whom will He teach knowledge? And whom will He make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little" (Isaiah 28:9-10).

and Proverbs 25:2

"It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings."

These last two verses tell us that G-d hides things for his children to discover and that those jewels are not always on the surface, but hidden from plain view.

Now, let's look at the plagues. As we recite them, notice that the first word is the Hebrew, the second is the English and finally, what the word means.

1. DAWM BLOOD LIFE2. TZ'FARDAYAH FROGS IS REQUIRED3. KANE LICE BY WAY OF FASTENING IN A CROSSING MANNER4. AHRAB FLIES GIVEN AS AN EXCHANGE5. MIKNEH LIVESTOCK IN ORDER TO BUY OR PURCHASE OR REDEEM6. SHEK'CHEEN BOILS RISE UP OR THRU FIRE BY WAY OF JUDGEMENT7. BAWRAWD HAIL ROCK FROM HEAVEN8. ARBEH LOCUST INCREASE IN US AN ABUNDANCE9. KHOSHECK DARKNESS THROUGH DEATH 10. MAWVETH B'CHOROT DEATH OF THE FIRSTBORN THE DEATH OF THE FIRSTBORN

As seen in different places throughout the Tanakh, the Old Testament, here we find that we are to recite G-ds judgement upon the world and the salvation of his people. If we put the plagues in sentence form, we find:

Lifeblood is required by way of fastening in a crossing manner and given as an exchange in order to redeem. Rise up Fallen Rock. Increase in us an abundance through death, the death of the Firstborn.

Here, we have the life, death and resurrection of the Messiah as a hidden prophesy, a prophecy that points to none other then Y’shua ha Mashiach, Jesus Christ. In this, we find that the Messiahs death and resurrection is G-ds judgement upon the world and sin. Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!He is risen.
